Re: question re: Gas Mileage,4th and 5th gear
 

yep, I was back asswards on my gear/rpms and I apologize.

I thought I read here somewhere that my straight 6 somehow did better
on gas if the rpms were higher. That was what I was trying to question.
Now,if you want to flame me for not being a gearhead, go ahead.

Nah, I think I'd rather flame you for not quoting what you're replying to so
the rest of us know what you're talking about. :)

You should play around and see. My engine's 'sweet spot' is between
2300 and 2500 rpm. I get the best mileage there with tons of instant
pull if needed.

Re: question re: Gas Mileage,4th and 5th gear
 

What Mike said about the sweet spot. I suspect that 2000 rpm will be a
bit low and 2500 a bit high for best mileage.
